Nord-Mörön island in Piteå archipelago
Northern archipelago, east of Trundön.
It´s a shallow beach cove with occasional rocks. Popular anchorage with excellent swimming and ideal hiking areas. Provides good protection from winds except for the north and the west.
Nowadays there is a sandbank, Mörösanden, between what used to be two islands, Möröskär and Nörd-Mörön, and you can now regard them as one island. There used to be fishing cabins on both the islands. The islands have been called Västra and Östra Mörön until 1928, when the islands where bought by the alderman Johan O. Wallstén and was called Rådmansö (Gustav Bremback: På kryss i Piteå Skärgård).
On Möröskär there still is a cabin left, now used as a summer cabin, but preserved in original condition. Remains of a previous, very beautiful fishing location is on Möröskärs north foreland where the north-south gravel ridge steep right down in the ocean.
On the island there is several nice beaches and there is to these most of the visitors comes to visit to.
Fireplaces with simple seating benches are located in the northern bay, like on the norteast part of the island.
The long shallow sand beaches in the bays offer the ideal bathing places for smaller children.
On the sand dunes called Mörösanden and after the east part of the north bay you will find the ordinary beach plants who are mentioned on Möröskär, however you can also see in the more tranquil bays more of the unusual beach plants stranvial, havs- and kärrsälting, havtorn and strandkvanne
